It's Saddam's birthday!
2005-04-28
Amman - Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who celebrated his 68th birthday on Thursday in United States custody, is in good health and spirits, a spokesperson for his lawyers has revealed.
Damm, I forgot to send him a card.
Iraqi lawyer Khalil Dulaimi met Saddam for the second time on Wednesday for six hours, during which he informed him of political and judicial developments, spokesperson Ziad Khassawneh said in a statement. The former dictator "is in good health and high morale", he said, adding that details of the meeting would be published in the next few days.
Saddam, marking his second birthday since he was captured in December 2003, faces charges of crimes against humanity for his regime's campaign against the Kurds and the brutal suppression of a Shiite Muslim uprising, among others.
What to get a man who had everything? I know, how about a reunion with his boys!

#2  Too bad those gals got courtmartialed. They could give him his birthday wacks. Though I'd think Jessica Lynch ought to have a chance at it.

And it is satisfying indeed to know he's spending it in the Graybar Hotel. :)
